X-factor of the game: Jeremy Hollowell. He's starting to get it, fellas. He completely outplayed Glenn Robinson III. Huge blocks, rebounds, some nice defense...he's going to be key if we are to win a national title.

But I thought Indiana was going to lose both games this week.....

Glen is really overrated it's kind of comical at this point. He was deemed the best NBA prospect on his team by most experts and he isn't even close to it. Hollowell did play hard tonight and so did Watford. That to me is the Xfactor for IU if Watford plays hard they win. When he doesnt they struggle.

But that is a good point if Hollowell picks it up it can make up for the times when Watford doesn't go hard. But for IU to win it all I think Watford is the X-factor.

X-factors aren't starters or guys who play 30+ minutes per game. They are guys who come in off the bench and give you key minutes while the guys who do play 30+ minutes per game are resting.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

Got to get the TO's under control. That was much closer than it needed to be.

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

I was at the game, loudest I've ever heard AH. Going without Yogi for that long stretch really hurt us. Sheehey didn't do much offensively but it seemed like he played great D on Burke. Refs were disgustingly bad.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

By what I define as an X-factor, Christian Watford isn't it. He may be a key to winning the national championship (although I think if you are looking for a guy outside of Zeller/Oladipo, that guy is Yogi Ferrell), but what do I know? I've only watched every minute of IU's play this year.

We understand that this is a push the tempo style team. So there's probably a certain amount of turnovers that such a style will create. But, even then, it's got to be a reasonable number of turnovers. We normally have too many that are bad or ill - timed passes or just trying to push the ball up court off the dribble through two and three defenders.

Re: Indiana University Athletics Thread 2012-2013

I loved that the student section did not storm the court. We should beat the best team on our court. We've been there before. And now we have to work hard not to have any student section storm the court in a game we play.

Yogi is amazing for a freshman. He may not be more talented than Trey, but the big difference is that Yogi impacts the game on both sides of the ball. Trey is not a very good defender and it showed last night.

Big 3s from Hulls and one that would have counted that got waived off on whatever that goofy *** foul call was near half court.

Quietly another good game from Watford. No guy takes more unnecessary ******** comments from fans in the stands than him. Yet he is probably a top 40 or so IU player at this point.

Oladipo and Zeller....what can you say? No chance either one is back now. Zeller dominated that game in a crucial stretch with his putback dunks. Victor only gave up 4 points last night when he was directly guarding someone....he was on the court for 45 defensive possessions.
